"This line, that individual subreddits defy any concept of Reddit identity, needs to stop"
I can only speak to what I experience and I can't pretend my experience is something it's not. If that is unintentionally distracting from some greater purpose, too bad I guess. I'm not about to get on board with a perspective I have not experienced and do not understand.
- ytq11 6y agoI mean, that’s fine, but that exact sentiment is trotted out every time anything critical about Reddit comes up. “Having a bad time on Reddit? You must be subbed to the wrong places” and/or “I’ve not noticed anything on my carefully curated sub list” means it’s much harder to have a realistic discussion about the actual, sitewide problems like hiring someone uncomfortably close to realized pedophilia on a site chock full of young children (believe it or not). I used to say the same thing you have here to say pretty much the same thing about Reddit. That’s why I cited my experience in response, as you say you’re sharing yours, to point out that beyond what you’ve experienced there’s some nuance you may not have considered (and learning it was valuable to me).
